Best Grains For Ya
Feeding Beef Cattle

(Experimental Farm Notes)

In the feeding and manage-
ment of beef cattle, particularly
in times of low beef prices, one
of the main objectives is to make
the maximum use of inexpensive
home-grown feeds and pastures.

’ Canadian grown barley, oats,
wheat and corn are excellent
feeds for beef cattle. Barley is
probably the most important of
these grains. It ig-widely grown

n

ing feed and prmduces beef of a
high quality with fat of a nice
white colour. Im feeding trials
conducted both in Canada and in
United States, barley has been
shown to be practieally the equal
of corn in the beef ration.

Oats have atendancy to pro-
duce growth rather than to fat-
ten beef rapidly. This is due to
the fact that they are higher in
fiber, bulkier, and richer in piro-
tein than barley or corn.
A combination of oats and barley
is ideal for young cattle or for
steers just starting on grain
feed. At first the percentage
of the two can be about equa)
but as the steers approach a fin-
ish the proportion of barley
should be iraiged,

OPNigy*

° ae hs Res A Sdese Lining

During periods of diffieulty and discouragement it is natural that the
minds of people turn to and dwell upon those conditigns which are the
source of their difficulties and the cause of their discouragement.
the tendency is for people to dwell upon these things to the almost com-
plete exclusior of subjects which provide reason for confidence and en-

couragement,

This, it may be repeated, is quite natural; just as natural, in fact, as
it is during periods of rapid development and general prosperity to close
one’s eyes to all warning signs along the road. In other words, the vast
majority of pe sple are enthusiastic optimists, and quite impatient of words
of warning and caution from more thoughtful observers, when things are
going well, but are just as confirmed: pessimists, and impatient with those
who point to favorable signs, when the existing state of things is bad. Very
few of us take note of the cloud stoall as a man’s hand coming up on the
horizon when the noonday sun is shining, and the number is equally small
who -can see the silver lining to the clouds when the skies are completely

overcast.

As @ result of this tendency, nuankind plunges thoughtlessly ahead, the
great majority sweeping all others long for good or ill
periods, when the cry is full steam ahead, and when this, that, or the
other great. prvject involving the expenditure of millions of borrowed money
is being advocated, persons who tender the advice that we should give more
serious consideration to the project, count the cost, and give a thought to
the ultimate and inevitable future payment, are termed back-numbers,
Governments which at such times tell the peo-
ple that there is a limit to this discounting of the future, that a pay-as-
you-go policy is much wiser, are swept away. The spenders take control.

But when the bubble bursts, when prosperity vanishes and depression
taixes its place, when the free spending comes to an end, and the bills are
presented for payrnent, and taxation to meet those bills is imposed in
heavier and heavier doses, then those who were most outspoken in favor
of incurring the bills and most contemptuous of those who urged caut:on,
are the first to.complain of the shortsightedness of politicians and Govern-
ments upon whom they proceed to lay responsibility for all their troubies.
On the other hand, during the prosperous" periods most people take full
credit to themselves for their own advancement, their increased prosperity,
and the general improvement of their business and their community, and

tightwads, non-progressive.

are inclined to give little or no credit to anybody else.

After all, these are common traits in our human make-up. It is well,
however, to occasionally take a good, square look at ourselves, to we'gh
curselves in the scales, to be absolutely honest in an impartial s‘zing-up
of ourselves, to consider our own past views and actions and th-‘r effect
pon present day conditions, Furthermore, in this present period of dis-

: ent, it is well to overcome our natural tendency to see everything
thro blue spectacles, and to take a look at the silver lining to the clouds,

Notwithstanding all our economic problems, Canada is free from some
of the worse of those which afflict the people of other nations. For example,
what community in the whole length and breadth of Canada hag been
socked and outraged by a lynching in its midst, such aS is more or less
@ commonplace occurrence in the United States? How many. kidnapp:ngs
have occurred in Canada even during these times which unquestionably are
an incentive to law-breaking and violence, although kidnappings are daily
happenings across the line? And why is it such a marked difference for

the better prevails on this side of an imaginary line?

The answer is to be found in Canada's far superior judicial system,
resulting as it has in absolute confidence that even-handed justice wll be
administered, thus rendering the invoking of lynch-law unnecessary on the
one hand, and proving a deterrent to kidnappers, murderers, and gangster
activities, "The tradition of respect for law and order in Canada is a great
national asset, bringing, comfort and security to all our people, and provid-
ing a sure guarantee against mob law and gangster rule in this Dominion,
It is a strong foundation upon which Canada rests and will build through-
out the future.

More of. the silver lining is seen in the absence of strikes and riots and
picketings in this Dominion as compared with many other lands, ‘There has
been an occasional small strike in Canada, one or two small clashes with
the officers of the law, an isolated case or two of picketings, but there have
been no killings, and, generally speaking, peace and order have prevailed
throughout the period of the depression. Canada’s legislation dealing with
industrial disputes has been effective even under the strain and stress of
the present economic upheaval because that legislation is fair to all, humane
in its principles and effective in its operation and administration in provid-

ing justice for all. In this respect, Canada presents a picture that is most

gratifying when placed in contrast to most countries.

In Canada, too, our political system and institutions have stood the test.
Revolutions haye taken place in other lands, in which lives have been lost,
property destroyed, liberties taken away, dictatorships established. In Can-
ada, our people have been moving forward through the orderly processes
of democratic, representative government. There has been no revolution, nor
will there be. Confidence has been maintained in our existing form of gov-
ernment, and it is proving flexible enough to the people’s will to enable

them to achieve such reforms as they desire.

Many other examples might be cited, and will occur to readers of this
article, but those mentioned are given as an incentive to people to try and
overcome their natural tendency to look constantly on the dark side of
things in these days, and, for a change, contemplate and study those that are
not only brighter but contain promise of still brighter, better things ahead.

Made Hazardous Trip

Tale Of Heroic Journey Brought
Down From Aklavik

From out of the fastnesses of Can-
ada’s frozen north emerged @, tale
of a woman's hazardous journey
along 350 miles of the most dariger-
ous part of the Arctic coast.

Miss Isobel W. Hutchison, young
Scotswoman, completed the journey
braving hardsh'p, hunger and witter
cold, and arriving at her destinatirh,
Aklavik, just . before Chetstmas,
Word of her exploit was brought
to “Fort McMurray by Pilot Joan
Bythell, Canadian Airways, returned
from several months in the far
north,

The Scotswoman made the trip by
dog teams, Pilot Bythell said, when
winter overtook her as.she’was mak-
ing her way to Eskimo schooaets
around from Point Barrow. When
the ice formed she took to sleds,

It had veen Miss Hutehinson's in-
tention to make connections with the
Arctic boat Pattason, near Po:nt
Barrow, but Capt. Peterson was un-
able to take her to her desired aes-
tination, Herschel Island. She there-
fore chartered Eskimo schooners
along the route to help her on her
way.

Incidentally, about this time Miss
Hutchison had the distinction of
visiting and bringing several souv-
enirs from the derelict Hudson Pay
Company's boat Baychimo, which
was then still afloat about 15 miles
off shore,

Later, and after a succession. of
setbacks, she was finally frozen in
about 350 miles short of her goal.
This distance with severe hardship
and difficulty she covered with bor-
rowed dog teams, arriving at Aklavik
a few days before Christmas. 4

Apparently, stated Pilot Bythell,

Although forty years of age is of
course not cons:dered old, yet be-
cause Presbyopia usually manifests
itself at about that age, it is com-
monly referred to as “Old-age sight”.
How often we hear people say “my
sight is just ag good as it ever was
except for reading and sewing.” Yes,
this condition is common to man, Let
us tonsider the cause of this natural
development. which Causes so much
inconvenience after middle life.

We have fully explained that in
order to have a clear image of a dis-
tant object focused on the Retina,
the length of the eyeball and the
curvature of the Cornea and Lens
must be properly related. The first
two may be considered as fixed as
to length and curvature respectively
but fortunately the Lens is elastic
and it is this elastic power or “Ac-
commodation” which enables us to
focus objects near at hand, Accom-
modation is most powerful around
twelve years of age and then gradu-
ally diminshes 'till there is none left
at age sixty-five or seventy.

For sustained close work a cer-
tain amount is absolutely necessary
and this the average person .of forty-
five does not possess, hence, the nec-
essity of assisting the failing Actom-
modation by artificial means in the
form of glasses and as the Accom-
modation continues to decrease, the
strength of the lenses must be in-
creased, This change should be every
two or three years.

“Ruling Is Strict

Producers Require Permit To Pack
Grade Al Eggs

Grade Al of Canadian eggs is a
super-grade and the packing of this
grade may be done only by producers
authorized by permit by the Do-
minion Department of Agriculture.
Application by producers desiring to
pack this grade should be made to
the Poultry Services, Dominion Live
Stock Branch, Ottawa. Grade Al, it
is explained, was included in the re-
cent revisions to the Canadian Stand-
‘ard egg grades for two reasons—
first, to provide a place for eggs
which, because of production condi-
tions and speed of marketing, merit
some recognition over the top com-
mercial fresh egg grade, and, sec-
ondly, to establish a grade which
would serve as an ideal towards
which producers would be encour-
aged to work. Grade Al eggs are
not a product intended for inter-
provincial trading or long shipment.
They are produced only under care-
ful production conditions and are
marketed without delay.

A’ Second Houdini
English Vicar Skilled Ih Freeing
Hims:if From Manacles
The Vicar of Harls Barton, North-
amptonshire, England, Rev. L. A.
Ewart, is something of a _ second
Houdini and, if he had not adopted
the church as a career, might have
Won Tanié by his rémarkable skill in
escaping from Jeg-irons or handcuffs
in the presence of friends and

acquaintances,

At a British Legion dinner at the
neighboring village of Irchester he
astonished the company by a master
ly display of handcuff manipulation.
His hands were manacled behind his
back, but in a few minutes the vicar
was free,,.both locks having been
opened.

Mr. Ewart has been known to
escape from 25 locks in 10 minutes,
He has freed himself from American
leg-irons, Siberian fetters and Ger-
man handcuffs,

On one occasion a police inspector
(off duty) at a gathering, fastened
a pair of handcuffs on Mr. Ewart,
but had no key to release the vicar
if he failed to escape. In a few
moments the vicar was free. Then
he induced the inspector to be hand-
cuffed. Smilingly, however, he de-
clined to show his method of escape
and the inspector had to return to
the police station to get the hand-
cuffs removed.

White Collar Women

Most Unemployed Office Girls Will-
ing To Do Any Work

The white collar women are giv-
ing Los Angeles a lot of worry, says
W. L. Clark, in Border Cities Star.
‘There are some 14,000 of these girls
out of work and the civic authorities.
are at their wits’ ends to know waat
to do about it. The white collar girls
are the stenographers, bookkeepers,
receptionists. and. nurses
‘for doctors and dentists, comptometer
and other office machine operators,
saleswomen, bank girls, and others.

They call them white collar girls
because they are the ones who work-
ed side by side with the white col-
lar men in offices ‘and stores. With
14,000 trained women and girls ask-
ing work and finding none, Los An~
geles is faced with a serious quand-
ary.

Nor is the question unique in Call-
fornia. Eyery city in Canada has
the same problem to solve. Wind-
sor’s white collar girls are anxious to
work, but some of them cannot find
any jobs, In fact some of them are
only too pleased to work for any-
thing at all.

Conditions Are Improving

Evidence Of Uptrend Of Business
Shown By Increase In- Sales Of
Salada Tea :

An indication that conditions are
improving and that business is on
the upturh is shown by. the fact that
the Salada Tea Co, sold over 54%
more tea in Western Canada in 1933
than in 1932.

This is especially significant since
Salada is a quality tea.

Empire Mail. Service

Studying Routes Between United
Kingdom and Canada -

The aeronautical correspondent of
the London Morning Post declares a
cabinet committee was considering
steps to launch an intensive period
of Empire air communication expan-
sion and that it was studying the
routes. between the United Kingdom
and Canada and the United King-
dom and Australia.

The expansion, the correspondent
said, would. include faster air mail
services and a. modified subsidy sys-
tem, The committee sought, he add-
ed, to develop an airmail service
comparable with that in the United
States.

Had. Adventurous Life

Capt. Carey, Former Commodore Of

600 Times

Word was received at Montreal
of the death at Walasey, England,
of Captain Francis Carey, 85, former
commodore of the Canadian Pacific
fleet, who retired in 1914..

Captain Carey had an adventurous
life in hig many years on the sea.
He crossed the Atlantic 600 times,
once towed a huge passenger boat
800. miles. in December seas, trans-
ported a whole harem, and was the

Fifth Exporting Nation

Canada Held This Position During
First 10 Months Of 1933
Canada held her position as the
world’s fifth exporting nation during
the first 10 months of 1933, but the
United Kingdom replaced Germany
as the second on the list, according
to figures compiled by the Dominion
bureau of statistics from League of
Nations sources,

The United States continued to
hold first place by a narrow margin
over the United Kingdom, while Ger-
many occupied third place; France,
fourth, and Japan, sixth. The rela-
tive places are computed on values
of exports in gold dollars.

Sanitation should be practical in
all feeding methods with turkeys.
Never allow the birds to pick their

from troughs or dishes of some kind.
All feeding utensils should be kept

that these feeding utensils be moved
regularly from place to place.

Marvels of the Human Eye
By F. M. CROWE, Optometrist-Optician, Calgary

NO. 1—PRESBYOPIA OR “OLD-AGE SIGHT”

In an individual with normal dis-
tant vision such glasses, although
necessary for reading, will blur ob-
jects across the room. Also the Pres-
byope who needs glasses for distant
vision will, require a different
strength, or Bifocals, for near work,

The first symptoms of Presbyopia
are: difficulty in reading by artificial
light, haying to hold the paper
twenty or more inches away instead
of fourteen or sixteen inches. With
advance of time other complications
arise. The muscles in an effort to
force a focus, become unbalanced -in
their relation to each other, causing
eyestrain, headaches, eyeaches, burn-
ing sensation, watery eyes, print
blurred and runs together and
drowsiness after a short period.
These are not only the symptoms of
uncorrected Presbyopia but are also
signals to older Presbyopes that it is
“time for a change”.

Since the eyes have to converge
when readtng, how remarkable it is
that the same nerve, the third or
moter Oouli, supplies the power both
for Accommodation and Convergence
in order that they may work in
harmony and when they fail to do so
by neglecting to wear the proper
glasses, trouble is bound to follow.

Presbyopia is not a disease but is
due to natural progressive changes
in the Ocular system and when pres-
ent the eyes need assistance—not
continued abuse.

Easter Island, one of the great

Pacific ocean from the Chilean port
of Caldera, and an expedition was
sent out to plant the flag. A few

Vancouver Shipping Has
Shown Amazing Growth

Figures Riding Far Abeve Level Of
Year Ago ‘

A rousing message Of cheer and
confidence is issued by the Vancouver
harbor commissioners,

Shipping figures are riding far
above the lovel of a ‘year ago and a
wider range of export tells of new
port growth.

“The people of Vancouver and the
whole of British Columbia can take
heart from the aceomplisaments of
the past 12 months,” said Sam Mc-
Clay, president of the comm‘ss!oners.

“Bach one of us_is concerned with
the sh‘pping of Vancouver as a port.
During the past year not only has
it increascd in total tonnage, it has
shown new and greater life in prac-
tically every commodity handled.”

Mr, McClay pointed out that the
increases embrace virtually’ all the
basic industries of the country, and
reflect a healthier condition in Can-
adian business generally.

Logs and lumber, and manufac-
tured shingles, doors and pulp and
paper show big gains over 1932.

Concentrates, almost . completely
absent during the past three years,
reappeared in a sizeable movement.

Other matcrial gains were in flour,
scrap metals, salt fish, apples and
salmon.

che latter, with a 65 per cent. in-
crease over ivsZ, 18 a good augury
for the future.

A new shipping movement by Unit-
ed Kingdom boats, is that of bananas
and Citrus fruits. Coming from Cen-
tarl America and California, these
imports created a considerable
amount of intercoastal trade, far
above taat of 1932.

Similarly significant was the larger
number of small fishing craft using
the harbor commissioners’ facilities.

A larger number of passengers
passing through the port confirmed
the active increase in port business.

“More and more, the products of
the countries. of the world pass over
the docks of Vancouver, and the port
can be said to be a virtual clearing: |
house of-world goods,” said Mr. Mc-
Clay. :

With preparations under way for a
busy term, the prevailing spirit at
the harbor commissioners’ offices is
“Watch 1934!"

Not-Hard To Learn

Six Dots Giye The Key To Braille

Six dots, arranged like the six dots
of a domino, give the blind a key
which opens out for them the whole
range of literature and music. By
cutting out one or more of these dots,
sixty-three different combinations
can be formed, and the inter-com-
binations possible are innumberable.
This is the famous Braille syctem,
called Braille after its inventor, and
it is used by blind readers and writ-
ers in every part of the world. The
sixty-three combinations allow suffi-
cient variety to cover any ordinary
alphabet and also the punctuation
marks and contractions. They can
also be applied to numerals and
musie symbols, A thorough know:-
edge of the Braille system can be
acquired by a few weeks' study, and
proficiency in reading—performed
by the fingers is obtainable after
about s:x months.

eeding Up Business

More Cheques Cashed In Banks,
Official Information Reveals

Speeding up of business during
1933 as compared with the preceding
year is indicated by the comparative
totals of cheques cashed by branches
of chartered banks in Canada. A re-
turn issued by the Dominion bureau
of statistics shows an increase of
$4,137,000,000 or 16 per cent. in favor
of 1933. .

The total amount of cheques cash-
ed at chartered banks in 32 centres
of Canada during 1933 was $29,981,-
000,000. Tae comparable amount dur-
ing 1932 was $25,844,000,000.

Debits in the prairie provinces |
were 83.7 per cent. greater than in
the preceding year. The total in
1988 was $6,414,000,000 and the eun-
sequent increase amounted to $1,417,-
000,000.

Book Gives Insight Into Life Of

The Hampshire Advertiser and
Southampton Times contains an in-
teresting account of early history of
the ancient church of Lymington
parish in England.’ An insight into
the life of the early times and the
human side of the church’s history
is contained in a book by the Rev.
Charles Bostock and Edward Hap-
good.

Reference is made in the “Notes”
to a William Pitt, who was parish
clerk for forty years in the early
part of the last century. He used to
occupy the lowest portion of an an-
cient “three-decker” pulpit, and being
very deaf, he often said “Amen” at
the wrong time. The sexton, wiove
regular duty is said to have been to

armed with a stout cane to thrash
the boys, was, at critical periods of

could be had for $390. Cost of wings

Britain Trains Public Men

Has Admirable System Of Giving
Them Every Chance

A name figuring much in the cables
recently is that of Captain Anthony
Eden, on New Year's Day promoted
to be British Lord Privy Seal. Des-
patches carried Captain Eden's cut-
ting comment on Sir Stafford Cripps’
references to the King.

Anthony Eden is not yet 38 years
old. But he has been in parliament
eleven years, In 1925 he was one
of the British delegates to the Em-
pire Press Conference in Australia,
and Canadians who travelled with
him then saw in him a young man,
modest and unassuming but intensely
studious and sincere. He was not a
journalist, but he became attached
to Lord Burnham's Daily Telegraph
so that he might visit Australia, get
to know more of the Empire. It was
a part of his training.

Anthony Eden’s career is a side-
light upon the British conception of
politics, It is a conception that re-
gards politics not only as an honor-
able career, but as a highly technical
science, as a calling demanding an
apprenticeship, In Canada a young

tion at length and having set forth

always had wars and will always
have them—that we cannot change
human nature,” he said. “We cannot
change human nature, but we can
educate it out of the idea that war
is the solution of national problems,”
he said. “The only logical solution
is good-feeling, the willingness of na-
tions to trust one another. Avoid the
cynic—avoid the man who says that
because things have been done
through ignorance and stupidity in
the past, we cannot shape a better
world,” be advised. of getting a constituency. In Eng-

"Improving Coreal Varieties Difficulty Overcome

Birdiike Flexibility Of Wings Is

Feature Of New Acroplane
neroplane of every
pioneer of fying since Leonardo da
Vinci—a machine which can repro-
duce, in their utmost delicacy, all
the motions of a bird—is await'ng,
at Farnborough Aerodrome, a day in
the near future when it will make
{ts first demonstration flight before
an audience of experts fromm all coun-
tries, states a writer ih News of the
World.

The secret of this wonderful .new
development in man’s conquest of
the air lies not in range of engine
power, nor in any new aerodynamic
principle, such as the rotor or wind-
mill ’plane, but in the birdlike'flexibil-
ity of the wings themselves.

The idea of a flexible wing—-or to
be more technical, the variable cam-
ber wing-—-is not new, but the ‘diffi-
culties of putting it into practice
have hitherto proved insurmountable.

To vary the camber of an aero-
plane's wing while in flight means to
alter the direction of the air flow
over the wing surface, resulting in
an increase or diminution of the lift-
ing power and retarding forces,

The effect of such manipulation of
the shape and curve of the wing is
to give the gircraft a wide range of
speed—the ability to climb rapidly
and descend slowly without the at-
tendant disadvantages of slow speeds
when proceeding in normal and level
flight.

Birds have the power of adapting
the shape and curve of their wings
for rapid or slow flight, and it is the
close study of their movements that
has enabled Signor Ugo Antoni, the
inventor, to achieve what had come
to be regarded as a practical im-
possibility.

He experimented with aeroplane
wings. ‘To vary the surface of re-
sistance to the air-flow of the wings
varying the camber—would achieve
his purpose, and give to flicrs a
higher range of speed and safety
than the aircraft of today could |
afford.

This would have to be done by a
mechanism of some sort—but a
mechanism that would have to be
installed inside the wing itself, be so
light as to be negligible in the ccn-
struction of the wing, and sufficiently
strong to pass the rigid stress-tests
imposed by the authorities.

The mechanism would also have to.
be controlled by a lever in the pilot's
cockpit.

Now Signor Antoni claims that he
has evolved this mechanism. He has,
he says, triumphed in his lifelong
quest of the real bird aeroplane, and
he has gained the scrious interest
of the leading aeronautical experts
of the world.

Too Hard On Roadbed
Speedy

Trains Are Not Put Into

Regular Service

A train which travels so quickly
that its high speed is still in ad-
vance of practical use is an anomaly,
but Germany possesses it today in
the electrical “Flying Hamburger,”
and it is of interest to note that
thirty years ago speeds unequalled
in the world were achieved by: elec-
trical trains built by English elec-
tric companies. On September 15,
1903, a speed of 124.88 miles an hour
was reached, and this was increased
on October 27 to 130.66 miles, Tech-
nical difficulties, especially connected
with the roadbed, were responsible
for the fact that these trains were
not put into regular service, There
was also no popular demand at thet
time for such rapid travel. The
record of 142.9 miles made by the
“Zeppelin on rails” two years ago,
still stands unchallenged as the
world’s record for travel on rails, but
the speed is too high for practical
use.

Could Prevent War

Blumenfeld States Britain And United
States Have Power

Ralph D. Blumenfeld, chairman
and editor of the London Express,
says with some force that talk of
war in Europe is “bunk”. and that
Britain and United States, “standing
shoulder to shoulder,” could prevent
any war from starting.

It is true.

If the British Empire and the
United States who held the bag and
paid the bills in the late lamented
war were to‘refuse to come into an-
other one, physically or financially,
no nation in Europe would fight.—

New York’s Latest Idea

City To Have Reproduction Of Solar
System In Miniature ~

The New York Evening Post says:
“Heaven has been a long time com-
ing to New York, In fact, it isn't
here yet.

But it’s scheduled for the spring
of next year. cnet s

It’s an “artificial heaven’—a re-
production of the solar system in
miniature. And it’s to be placed in
the planetarium building to be con-
structed by the Museum of Natural
History on the Highty-first street
side of its grounds on Central Park
West. :

Crowning the two-story structure
will be a dome having a diameter of
seventy-five feet. At the base of the
dome the horizon will represent the
skyline of New York in silhouette.

Before the eyes of the onlookers
will be unfolded the mighty pageant
of the skies.

“The inverted bowl,” in the words
of Dr, George H. Sherwood, direc-
tor of the museum, “becomes a staye
where the tremendous drama of tae
heavens, with an ‘all-star cast’, is
presented within the short span of
an hour.”

* Even..a heaven—at least, an arti-
ficial heaven—-has to be financed.

New York's is to be made possible

Debit Is Too Heavy

Public Bodies And Corporations Of
Canada Carrying Big Load

The: following article is from the
MacMillan Report: Betweon ~-1900
and 1913 the total indebtedness of
the public bodies and cprporations of
Canada rose to Ver two billions of
dollars, It is not sufficiently realized
that it has grown by over 300 per
cent. since 1914. Nor is it true that
the war Whs largely responsible for
this. By 1919 the total Nad risen
from 2/to 3.7 billions only.’ Moreover
the actual increase/in thé burden of
debt since 1929 is much ‘greater, be-
cause of the fall in prices, than ex-
pansion from 7.4 ot 8.6 bill.ons of
dollars would indicate.

Were this debt held wholly in
Canada it would still bear heavily
enough on the producer. But the fact
that much of the money came from
abroad has involved the country in
an external ‘debt problem of great
magnitude as well. It is clear that
all the elements of the Canad’an
economy must be highly efficient and
its natural wealth be abundant if
such a burden is to be borne and
the population is to continue to en-
joy the high standard of living char.
acteristic of North America.

SYNOPSIS

‘Camilla Hoyt and Peter Anson,
young. and in love, marry secretly,
deciding to live their own lives apart
until Peter is able to provide for her.
Peter is a young, struggling sculptor
trying to win a competition for a
scholarship abroad and Camilla is the
adopted daughter of a wealthy fam-
fly. She is- not to inherit money
when she comes of age and so is
studying commercial art in the hope
of landing an agency job. Others in
the story are Avis Werth, another
wealthy girl who is trying to win
Peter, Sylvia Todd, Peter’s model,
and Gus Matson, his former room-
mate-with whom he has quarrelled.
‘At a party at an exclusive club Peter
entertains Camilla’s guests with im-

“The rich little dame we qunanated

- “Camilla?”
“Sure. Lord, she’s a beauty,
though.”

“She's my wife,” Peter announced

“What?” Gus shouted. His in-
credulity and consternation sur-
passed even Mrs, Hoyt’s. “Tell me
somethin’ I can believe.”

“Believe it or not.”

“When?” he demanded,

“Not much! Neither will Camilla,
after this week.”

“You don’t mean she’s comin’ here
to‘live with you, in this little room?’
he ridiculed.

“No, she wants to live with her
sister, until I get going. That was
the arrangement from the first.”

“Oh, trying a new stunt, to solve
the struggle problem of marriage?”

“Just about that. It’s Camilla’s

idea, until I can afford to keep her.
She's going to work, too.” -
“Sure, she thinks that’s easy, but
it won't last, Not for her. Occasional

don’t have to take oare of. But it

Peter's jaw closed rigidly. “That'll
do for you,” he said evenly, but the
words were like a grow! of warning
before an angered dog leaps.

Gus stood up casudlly, but his eye
watched Peter warily. “Well, con-
gratulations, anyway, and good luck.

I wouldn't ask ‘you if I didn’t need

“Sorry, Gus, but I haven't ten to
my. name. I'm just managing to keep
myself while I finish this work. After
that, I hope ‘to do better.”

When Gus had gone, Peter recalled

his denial of entering the exhibit,
‘and wondered what it could mean.
Had Sylvia misinformed him, or had
Gus given up the idea after he
started? Peter was puzzled,

CHAPTER XXVIII.

It was by a strange chain of cir-
cumstances that Camilla obtained
her position, Of just such chains of
linked coincidences is all life formed,
and still folk wonder and exclaim
over destiny’s inexorable cunning as
it shapes and forges the connecting
links of time and place and character
in their consecutive positions. That
is why we insist that life is stranger
than fiction. We take for granted in
life what we refuse to believe pos-
sible in the lives of ere char-
acters.

The business depression had called
upon the Wheatheart Cereal corpora-
tion, as upon what corporation had
it not? The manufacture of break-
fast cereal for robust children was
the business that had builded the
fortune of Hoyt. Alexander Hoyt I.
had conceived the original idea,
founded the industry and invented
the specialized machinery which
manufactured this inimitable food for
health and vitality. It was Alexander
Hoyt Il. who now occupied the chair
at the head of the table during di-
rectors’ meetings, and consulted with
chief advisers behind a ribbed glass
door marked “President.”

But there was no Alexander Hoyt.

was why-the twinkle of Alexander
Hoyt the second’s humor only es-
caped as far as his eyes and lurked
there behind his bi-focal spectacles.
A young son to add to the problems
and pleasures of hig youth, and an
older one now to shift the burdens
of.commerce and finance to sturdy
shoulders, undoubtedly .would have
coaxed laughter to his lips, to trace
its -happier lines upon a careworn
face.

Between the burdeng of big busi-
ness at the office and the executive
dominance of Amelia Hoyt at home,
the laughter had had little chance,
Only Camilla had managed occasion-
ally to coax it into the somber eyes

Now, the business burdens were
doubled, trebled. A crisis was im-

called in. More advertising was the
remedy prescribed, Not the prosaic
advertising on a small scale, which
had been good. enough heretofore.
Heretofore was not now. Drastic
measures were required, Sensational
advertising, something novel and ex-
pensive—ballyhoo. How much? Half
a million at the least!

To advertise Wheatheart Cereal
which retailed for eight cents a
package? Impossible, preposterous,
declared the conservative board of
directors of Wheatheart Cereal cor-
poration. Might as well close up shop
before they were ruined, anyway.
Better to make a graceful retire-
ment than a disgraceful failure.

But, argued the efficiency expert,
volume of production was the need
and the cure for the ‘present crisis.
Only advertising could command ve!-

ishment for big céntracts were get-
ting to be memories of the past. A
tiew client ready to spend half a
million to advertise breakfast cereal
—on one condition: that the half
million double its returns within &
few months. That required something
clever, something which would com-
mand attention.

Whose attention? Primarily, house-
wives’. But how? Tell them to
send their husbands off in the morn-
ing with the memory of their break-
fast cereal to inspire them for the
day? In too many cases, the memory
of the breakfast quarrel or Adeline
in kid curlers was more predominant.

No, the way to a man’s heart
might be through his stomach, but
the way to a woman's attention was
through her children. And if the
matter concerned the welfare and
happiness of her. children, better still.

Juvenile attention, then, was what
the new contract required, Weeks
and Bowman concluded. The talents
of the present staff were reviewed
hastily. No, they had no one who
filled the specifications. Juveniles—
somewhere in the back of Mr. Bow-
man’s mind, a memory stirred. Some-
where—he had seen some darned
good juvenile stuff that had arrested
his attention. Was it ad copy already
published that he had admired—no,
wait a minute.” It was the little girl
who had said that work was pleas-
ure, and she had done’ a bunch of
stuff to submit for samples.

After considerable search, Camilla’s
name and address were discovered,
and she was summoned to the office
of Weeks and Bowman. She had
planned that morning to look at
apartments, rather discouraged, but
determined that she would be hap-
pier and perhaps more successful
when she had taken up her new life
with Rose. ©

Bates had announced the “telephone
call while she breakfasted in her
rooms. She reached for the telephone
listlessly, expecting to. decline an-
other invitation for tea, lunch;
bridge, golf, theatre, or dinner. A
strange voice greeted her.

“Are you a Miss Hoyt who applied
for a position with Weeks and Bow-
man some time ago?” it asked.

“Oh, yes!’ Camilla was almost
breathless with excitement. Her heart
raced wildly,

“This is Mr. Bowman speaking.
You showed me some juvenile sam-
ples, I believe.”

Her beloved park sketches.
Mr. Bowman,”

“Are you working now?”

“No, I’m not,” weakly.

“Well, we have a new contract
that requires juvenile stuff. I don’t
know what, yet, but you might help
to advise us in the matter. I can't
promise you the work, now, because
this program will require a lot of
consideration, Would you like. to
come in and talk with us about it?”

“I'd be delighted, Mr. Bowman.
When?” *

“Make it this miorning, can you?
The sooner, the better.”

*Tll be there in an hour,”
promised. :

“Fine! You might bring those
samples if you will.”

Camilla's hands trembled when
she replaced the telephone, She
leaped to her feet. A dash for the
shower. What to wear? The White
knitted silk with the red patent belt
and trim. Neat, cool--and becoming. |
Peter had told her she looked lke}
“sugar .and spice, and everything
nice” in it, Dear Peter, Oh! she had |
to make good, Juvenile stuff, Mr,
Bowman had sa‘d. Just what she
loved to do! Oh, wasn't life a happy,
blessed: thing, her heart sang, wh le
‘her thoughts gyrated in confusion.

herself at the office, carrying her

heart Céreal company. The firm of
which Alexandtr’ Hoyt was prési-
dent, would spend a fortune to re-
cover a fortune-—and that compll- |.
cated miracle would be in her hands
if she obtaitfed the position. Dared
she presumeftipon her ability so far?

Common sense came to her rescue.
After all, she’ reasoned, the issue |
Was not hets to decide. These men /

were experienced specialists in ad-
vertising. If she qualified in their
opinion, might she not be as capable
of doing the work as anyone who
met with their approval? [If the
project had involved any other con-
cern and its fortune, would she re-
fuse the opportunity thus offered
her? Of course not, Then, why not
make good for herself and at the
same time serve the man who had
been her father and who held a
secret ' place in her reserved affec-
tions? If she qualified with Weeks
and Bowman, and made good, she
suspected that he would be im-
mensely pleased. The thought stimu-
lated her conversation and quieted
the tumult of her emotions that al-
most had conquered her when she
entered the conference.

Somehow—she never, knew exactly
what benevolent forces were sum-
moned to her aid—she survived the
ordeal and even escaped with a
gratifying
course, nothing definite had been de-
cided upon; but her work had at-
tracted surprised interest and she
had promised to submit samples of
her own ideas for the campaign as
soon as possible for their consider-

Mocking at a luckless satyr
_ From a fountain or a tree.

She has hours still ani pensive,
Musing in a prayerful mood,
When all life, with fret and folly,
Seems a fleeting interlude.

She has days of wistful brooding,
She has times of heartless mirth,
And the combihation makes her
Quite the dearest girl on earth.

Flight Over Mount Everest Said Re-
sponsible For Earthquake

From the mysterious Himalayan
kingdom of Nepal came a new ex-
planation of the earthquake which
recently shook all India, causing
deaths unofficially estimated at 15,-
000,

From the tiger-shooting camp of
a former maharajah of Nepal, 350
miles west of Katmandu, the capital,
came word that followers of the ma-
harajah blamed the recent success-
ful flight of three British aviators
over Mt, Everest for the catastrophe.
They were reported to declare that
the gods of the world's highest moun-
tain, previously unconquered by man,
had by the earthquake visitation
wreaked vengeance upon humanity
for invading their precincts,

Roasted Peanuts Taxed

Roasted peanuts are taxed in Can-
ada. The tariff board ruled that roast-
ing peanuts was a manufacturing |
process and therefore subject to sales |
tax. They turned down an appeal
made by the Canadian Fruit and Veg- |
etable Association for a contrary rul-
ing.

Fine Record For Scotland Yard Force |
During 19838

Scotland Yard had only one un-
solved murder during 1933, a year
which in all probability will be re-
corded as the most memorable in
the history of the Metropolitan police
force.

Although the policies of Lord Tren-
chard, commissioner of police, have
been violently assailed and ridiculed
in the press and by caricaturists, pro-
gress had been made with his unique
schemes of reorganization.

The year saw the beginning of
what will prove to be a complete re-
organization of the whole Scotland
Yard administration.

But what has been of more inter-
national importance is its initiation
of plang for closer co-operation be-
tween the detective forces of the
Yard and its continental neighbors.

For the first time in history Scot-
land Yard officers flew to Amster-
dam to meet and co-operate with
officers from Belgium, France and
Germany, and in so doing brought to
justice a clever gang of international
thieves.

Apart from actual crime the great-
est interest was in the alterations
that took place within the force it-
self. ‘Lord Trenchard continued the
work begun by Lord Byng of “‘clean-
ing” the force, and during the year
many officers, some of high rank,
were dismissed from the force.

Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta
and British Columbia.

Little Helps For This Week

Shall we receive good at the hands
of God, and shall we not receive evil?
Job 2:10,

Thou has dealt with Thy servant
well, O Lord, according to Thy word,
Psalm 119:65.

Whatsoe’er our lot may be,

Calmly in this thought we'll rest;
Could we see as Thou dost see,
We would choose it as the best.

It is a proverbial saying that every
one makes his own destiny; and this
is usually interpreted that every one,
by his wise or unwise conduct, pre-
pares good or evil for himself. But
we may also understand it, that
whatever he receives from the hand
of Providence he may so accommo-
date himself to it that he will find
his lot good for him whatever much
may seem to others to be wanting.—
Wm. Von Humboldt.

Evil once manfully fronted ceases
to be evil; there is generous battle-
hope in place of dead passive misery;
the evil itself has become a kind of
good.—T. Carlyle.
